Looe Key...


Anticipating the next northerly to blow through we left Key West and headed back to the protective mooring field at the City Marina in Marathon. Along the way we stopped at Looe Key for another great snorkeling adventure.

Looe Key is known as one of the premier snorkeling spots in the Florida Keys. It did not disappoint. Fish were plentiful and the colors excellent. We snorkeled along the reef when all of a sudden out of my peripheral vision I saw somethng large. Looking further, I saw that it was a nurse shark. How exciting!!! I immediately grabbed Dave's arm and started pointing in the general direction of the shark. He got excited too and grabbed the underwater camera and took off to try to get a photo. The photo is a bit murky but hopefully you can make out the 5-6 foot nurse shark in the second photograph.
The excitement just keeps coming!!
